Recently diagnosed bipolar. When my lithium dose was raised from 900 mg to 1200 mg. I saw much improvement, but many side effects. ie: high blood pressure, no feeling in my left leg and some loss in the left hand also tremmors in my hands.

My MD has lowered the dose back to 900 mg and now I am diving quick. I meet with a new Pcyc on Tues and was thinking of switching to Tegeratol?
